3rd and final project

So this is my third and final project using the embossing technique with Tens Seconds Studio metal and a brass charm as a mould. I loved making all three items, seems ages since I had a chance to mess around with metal and I have to admit that I've really missed it.


Having embossed my metal and given it the paint treatment as per project No. 1, I cut the metal to fit inside a Memory Frame. I placed it on my craft sheet and very carefully poured clear UTEE from my melting pot into the frame, taking care to stop pouring just before the frame was completely full to allow it to just fill the frame.

Once the UTEE had cooled, I was able to embellish it with some of Tim Holtz Ideaology sprocket gears and game spinners. I coloured a hinge clip with some alcohol ink to match the metal and frame so that it could be used as a bail for my necklace.
Hope you've all enjoyed my trio of metal projects.
